Chapter 46: Mid-Autumn Festival
The royal family came to Hangzhou, and it was just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, and then it was low-key and nobody, and on this day, it also took advantage of the place of Xie Mansion to entertain the officials in Jiangnan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The banquet was set for the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the guests came to the door in the evening, in addition to the military and political dignitaries of the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, many relatives who were close to the Xie family were also invited.
Han Qinghe was like three sisters, and followed the Cui family to receive the female dependents. There are officials and daughters who want to see the queen mother, and the old ladies who don't go out much on weekdays all go to the door according to their makeup. can keep Cui's feet on the ground.
Fortunately, the servants of the Xie family are all servants who have seen the world, and they have their own set of rules and procedures in terms of hospitality.
The place where the Queen Mother and others held a banquet was in the Xiaoyue Tower near Lanjing Lake. Han Qing seemed to be in the side hall on the east side of the second floor, entertaining the girls who had already arrived.
"Thanks to the saints who came to the Xie family, otherwise it would be difficult for us to get together in the big water in the south this year." As soon as Lu Xiang came, he pulled Wanruo and Han Qing and muttered in a low voice.
"But no, we made money in the Mid-Autumn Festival this time, otherwise we would have to wait for my family to have a happy event next year." He said with a smile.
Next to him, Yuan Jianing was chatting with Cui Yunhan, and when she heard it, she couldn't help but feel a glow on her cheeks. A few of the girls smiled and stopped teasing her.
"Who's here?" It's like leading people in.
A few girls saw that it was the Yu family sisters who had been besieged in the Hangzhou Mansion for several months, and they seemed to be happy and said, "The two sisters are okay these days, they have really suffered." ”
Sister Dan Ting Dan came over and saluted the girls deeply, "Thanks to all the sisters, my family was able to escape, and our sisters thank you here." ”
A few girls hurriedly helped the two of them up, as if saying, "What are you saying such kind words, how can we watch those people who are greedy and the common people become rampant, and watch those who are diligent in government and love the people being framed." ”
Dan Ting said with red eyes, "No matter what, I don't thank you, in the future, sisters, if you have the two of us, you will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire." ”
Several girls were also touched by the sincerity of the two sisters, and their eyes were hot.
"Now that the rain has passed, I didn't think that my father could borrow this wind and be promoted to the prefect of Hangzhou so quickly, so we can often play together in the future." Lu Xiang didn't like to be sentimental, so he immediately changed the conversation, and the sisters of the Yu family also turned tears into laughter when they heard it.
"Just now our sisters met the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also revealed that she wanted to bring Sister Xiang back to the palace to accompany her." Dan Wu winked at Lu Xiang and said.
"How can it be done, my family finally came to Hangzhou, and I can often play with you, how can my mother bear to let me leave my mother?" Lu Xiang stomped his feet anxiously.
Lu Xiang's mother, Liu, is the niece and nephew of the Queen Mother, so Lu Zhixian, who is the commander of Jiashan County, can be named by the emperor and appointed as the prefect of Hangzhou.
"It's a joke for you, look at it scares you, your little face is white." Dan Ting smiled and hurriedly cleared the siege.
"Okay, you little girl, you dare to tease me like this." Lu Xiang stretched out his hand to grab Dan's cuffs, so frightened that Dan's wife hurriedly hid to the side.
Han Qing was being used as a shield by Dan Yan, where could her little people stop Dan Yan, so she hurriedly diverted Lu Xiang's attention and said, "If you can play in one place in the future, you will still be missing the two sisters of the Wang family, and I don't know what happened to them in the capital." ”
Jia Ning said with a smile, "The two of them will naturally not be lonely when they return to Beijing, there are many girls in the Wang family, and there are many parties and banquets in Beijing, so there will be excitement every day." ”
Speaking of which, Lord Wang Lian was urgently appointed as an envoy to Zhejiang, and I don't know if he will bring his family to take up his post. Although Wang Lian's family is of the same clan and different houses as Wang Ge's hometown, they are still regarded as a family in Beijing, and their seventh girl, Nian Xuan, used to play together in Beijing. Cui Yunhan thought of handkerchiefs and said expectantly.
Except for Han Qing, all the girls used to play together in Beijing, so they all nodded yes. Han Qing was very familiar with Wang Nianxuan's name when she heard it, and thought about it, wasn't that the sister-in-law of Queen Ke in her previous life.
The eldest young master of the Zhenguo Mansion is a paralyzed man, and the position of the prince falls on the second young master, but this second young master is a gentleman, and he has made trouble for Queen Ke in his previous life, and at that time, Queen Ke entered the palace with King Xuanxuan at three days.
Although the nobles, family ministers and military generals' daughters rarely play together, but the capital is such a big place, and it is really where you don't meet in life. I hope that Wang Nianxuan can come to Hangzhou with his father in this life and avoid the marriage with the prince of Zhenguo, those two goods are really a pit.
After a while, the girls in the house gathered more and more, and everyone stopped talking about private rooms. Han Qing has a good ear, and only heard someone in the corner talking, "The world is really impermanent, during the Chinese New Year, what did the girl of the Yu family be bullied by the girls of the Zhu family and the Sun family, only a few months of hard work, and then look at the girl of the political envoy family." ”
"Who said it wasn't, the girls of the Ma family and the Ge family didn't show off their might, and now one of them has returned to Beijing in a gray way, and the other doesn't know if he has a life." That tone sounded very gloating.
"You don't know yet, the girls before laughed at the three girls of the Xie family for being a wild species, but now the prince of Rongguo, who came to Jiangnan with the emperor, is the father of the three girls' in-laws. It is said that the Queen Mother came to Jiangnan in order to help the Rongguo Mansion recognize her granddaughter! The voice was very quiet, but the information was very well-informed.
"There is such a thing! Oh my God, the life of this third girl is too good, with such an identity background, who will dare to find her uncomfortable in the future. I really want to see the face of that Miss Zhu Si when she heard the news, it must be extremely exciting. ”
Han Qing smiled, most people in this world have a pair of snobbish eyes, if you ask others to be full of kindness and noble character, then it is really forced. On the contrary, these girls are not big treacherous people, they just gossip a lot and love to talk about it, which makes Han Qing feel fresh and cute.
Looking at the girls standing by the window, all of them are fourteen or fifteen years old, with spring in their eyes, they must have seen the young man by Lanyue Lake.
"The sky is a little dark, and I don't know which one is His Royal Highness the Prince, I heard that the prince is handsome and beautiful, and no one can stand out." Han Qing pursed her lips, and the big radish would indeed attract bees and butterflies.
"Look at the one wearing a lake-blue silk brocade robe, it is His Royal Highness the Prince, I met by chance in Beijing before."
"Although the crown prince is indeed extremely handsome, the two sons of the Xie family are not bad." Han Qing nodded secretly, this girl has vision.
"Young Master Xie has already made a marriage, it's really cheap, that Yuan Jianing, the Xie family doesn't accept concubines. According to the tradition of the Xie family, at the age of the second young master, he would not have decided to marry early. The implication is that the prince is more dramatic.
"The Yu family is also a member of the party now, the eldest young master is married to a wife, but the third young master is in the right age."
"You girls, you're talking about men here, why don't you stop talking about it quickly, it's good to be heard."
"A few of us are just talking, you didn't see a few people before, who made all kinds of excuses to go out of the building, but they were all blocked back, and now they are sulking in the hall over there."
Han Qing found it interesting, it turned out that the girls of the official eunuch family were like this in private, they didn't have a good ear in their previous life, and they didn't have any handkerchiefs when they were locked up at home, but they missed a lot of interesting things.
His Royal Highness the Prince, who was worried about by all the girls, was a little bad at this time. Just because he was forced to hear Yu Boru thanking Xie Heng just now, the more he listened, the more he rubbed the fire.
"Mrs. Xie's great kindness, Yu is unrequited." Yu Boru gave Xie Heng a deep salute.
"Lord Yu doesn't have to be like this, the old man just did what he had to do." Xie Heng waved his hand.
"Master Taifu, if you don't dislike it, my second son Qingluan is 16 years old this year, the third in the family, and now he is a talented person, with good character and good studies. I am willing to ask for the dog to marry the three girls of your mansion as wives. In the next can guarantee that the dog will only marry three girls in his life, there is absolutely no concubine and the like, our whole family will really love the three girls. Yu Boru said earnestly.
Xie Heng was very stunned after hearing this, and then realized that Yu Boru wanted to repay the favor, knowing that the Xie family should be most concerned about the granddaughter who had just been found, although Han Qing's identity is also valuable now, but if you find someone who is not powerful, does not care about her complicated background, and only treats each other sincerely, it is still a little difficult.
Chu Yuan's ears are good, and he heard these words clearly, he thought to himself, you are a Yu Boru, you don't know how to be grateful, and you want to ask your son to marry Aqing, how can Aqing be worthy of ordinary people!
He jumped straight up with this nameless fire, and Xie Heng knew that Yu Boru had good intentions, but politely refused, "I know Lord Yu's kindness, but I don't plan to marry my third granddaughter early, in the future, I will definitely find her someone who she personally nods and agrees to." You really don't have to delay the third son's family affairs for a little kindness. ”
Seeing Xie Heng's firm attitude, Yu Boru didn't say anything more, only thinking about letting his son marry later.
Chu Yuan snorted angrily and walked towards the crowd, I want to see what kind of toad this Yu Qingluan looks like!
